"The government should limit the data it collects on citizens for its ID
card scheme to avoid creating a surveillance society, a group of MPs has warned.
The home affairs select committee called for proper safeguards on the plans
for compulsory ID cards to stop "function creep" threatening privacy.
It wants a guarantee the scheme will not be expanded without MPs' approval. "
This report will increase the public's awareness of the surveillance
society. It will lead to many more FOI requests to local authorities about
the extent of their covert surveillance operations.
